With Pearl Harbor, and our entrance into the war primary in our minds, we are seeking to relieve some of the tension by making the theme of the 11)42 Sturgensian one of light heartedness and gaity. With Dear Diary as our theme, we have tried to review the high lights of the past year and to depict, not only the social side of school but the work of our classes as well, endeavoring to make this book seem as informal as your school days were. Although there has been a large decrease in the amount of advertising sold, and the engraving and printing prices have increased, we have aimed to make this Sturgensian one of the best in the? history of the school. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy your Sturgensian. And some day, when the grim seriousness of this War for Democracy is over, and you find yourself in your favorite armchair, pick up this Sturgensian Diary and relive the most happy carefree days of your life.
